Histopathological and Immunohistochemical Analysis of FFPE Breast Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue for histopathologic analysis and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. All of the FFPE tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The detailed histopathologic features were reviewed by three breast pathologists (H.L., Y.A.C., and E.Y.C.). IHC staining was performed on 4-μm sections of FFPE tissue using a Leica BOND-III system (Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany) to stain for estrogen receptor (ER; 6F11, 1:300, Novocastra, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK), progesterone receptor (clone 16, 1:1,200, Novocastra), p53 (DO7, 1:1,200, Leica Biosystems), Ki-67, (MIB1, 1:200, Dako, Carpinteria, CA), and cytokeratin 5/6 (D5/16B4, 1:100, Dako) and the Ventana BanchMark XT platform (Ventana Medical Systems Inc., Tucson, AZ) to stain for HER2 (4B5, Ventana Medical Systems Inc.) according to the manufacturers’ protocols.

Immunohistochemical Profiling of Breast Cancer Xenografts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemical analyses were carried out on 5-µm-thick paraffin-embedded sections of breast cancer xenografts. Tissues underwent antigen retrieval, where required permeabilized with cold 0.1% Triton X 100, and stained overnight at 4 °C with antibodies against Ki67 (MIB 1, Dako), p63 (4A4, Santa Cruz), CK5 (XM26, Novocastra), CK 5/6 (D5/16B4, Dako), CK8/18 (5D3, Novocastra), Vimentin (R28), PR (16, Biocare Medical), Her2 (D8F12, CST), and ER (6F11, Novocastra). Successively, sections were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibodies and exposed to streptavidin-peroxidase (Dako). Stainings were revealed with 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole substrate (AEC, Dako) and nuclei counterstained with aqueous hematoxylin. For H/E, tissues were stained with hematoxylin for 2 min and subsequently with eosin for 1 min.

Protein Expression Analysis of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The whole‐cell proteins from MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐453 cells were extracted using M‐PER mammalian protein extraction reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific Pierce Biotechnology, Rockford, IL). The lysate proteins (10  μg) were subjected to SDS–PAGE (10% acrylamide gel). Following SDS–PAGE, the proteins were transferred onto Hybond PVDF membranes (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK). Primary antibody used was anti‐TACC2 antibody (Gene Tex), ER (6F11, Novocastra, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) and AR (AR441, DAKO). In addition, anti‐β‐actin (AC‐15, Sigma‐Aldrich) antibody was used as an internal control. Antibody‐protein complexes on the blots were detected using ECL‐Plus Western Blotting Detection Reagents (GE Healthcare), and the protein bands were visualized using ChemiDoc XRS+ system (Bio‐Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA).

Immunohistochemistry Protocol for Tissue Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunohistochemistry (IHC) cut tissue sections (5μm) on charged glass slides were baked for 10–12 hours at 58°C in a dry slide incubator, deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated via an ethanol step gradient. Heat-induced antigen retrieval steps were performed at pH 9.0 for all targets. All primary antibodies were incubated at room temperature for 1 hour [clone, manufacturer, dilution: Her2 (SP3, Neomarkers, 1:100); ER (6F11, Leica, 1:200); CD3 (polyclonal, Dako, 1:100)] followed by a standard chromogenic staining protocol with the Envision Polymer-HRP anti-mouse/3,3′diaminobenzidine (DAB, Dako) process. Slides were counterstained in Harris hematoxylin. Immunohistochemistry scoring was performed using established guidelines, when appropriate. All IHC results were evaluated against positive and negative tissue controls.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Mammary Gland

Paraffin wax-embedded transverse sections (5 μm) from formalin-fixed mammary gland specimens were stained using anti-Ki-67 (RM-9106, 1/100; Thermo Fisher Scientific), anti-PR (sc-7208, 1/50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies or anti active caspase-3 (AF835, 1/800; R&D Systems) as previously described (Abot et al., 2013 (link)). For ERα detection (ER-6F11, NCL-L-ER-6F11, Leica), immunohistochemistry was performed with a Dako Autostainer Link 48 on 3 μm sections. Antigen retrieval was performed using a Dako PT Link pressure cooker in pH 6.0 citrate buffer and an EnVision system for antibody detection. Images were acquired using a NanoZoomer Digital Pathology Scanner and NDPView software (Hamamatsu Photonics) for quantification.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
